20-50

Is that Cliff Floyd's vision? No, it's the Mets all-time record at Turner Cemetery. When Cliff Floyd steps to the plate with 1st and 3rd with one out, what other way to get out of that scenario besides striking out and not scoring? The pitchers best friend of course, and that's what Cornelius grounded into in the 3rd inning. Absolutely no clutch offense. Remember when the Mets smacked the D'Backs around? Well, here's an interesting fact that Marty Noble, the Mets beat writer, dug up. The Mets had 22 hits in 52 at-bats with runners on base in their 14-1 and 18-4 routs of the Diamondbacks on Aug. 23 and 24, for a .423 average. Beginning the next night and through their loss here in Atlanta yesterday (11 games), they had 23 hits with runners on base. But those hits came in 143 at-bats -- 91 more. That average is .161. That is absolutely terrible... Gruesome.

Why the Mets can't score runs? Ask Subway Willie... the answer must be somewhere in those sandwiches. Ask Cornelius why he is not clutch, especially against the Braves. He'll make up some bullshit that his knee hurt. Ask Pedro Martinez why he didn't look Marcus Giles back when the 137-year old 1st baseman of the 18th century Julio Franco hit a dribbler that Giles scored on from second base... and the dinosaur was out at first. How does this happen? Your answer... Only the Mets can manage to do it.

I love the Mets. Even when after they lost, I would proudly wear my blue cap with orange logo, but enough is enough. I don't even do that anymore. It's gotten to the point when watching them just puts me sick to my stomach... THEY'RE JUST SICKENING! The Mets will make one more run to make you think they're gonna contend, but despite that, they're finished for this year. I am already starting to look forward to next year, and I see a much, much better team ahead of us. We have to be a young team, and Cliff Floyd is not the answer. Neither is Manny Ramirez or Alfonso Soriano. The Mets have always had good homegrown talent, looking back to Doc Gooden and Darryl Strawberry, and looking forward to David Wright and Jose Reyes. This is a youth movement ladies and gentlemen. Lets get going on the road to it.

LETS GO METS!
